The currency guys seem to go crazy over having a fancy serial number on their notes. On certified coins we have serial numbers, so we can play that game as well!!!!

Picked up this coin recently and didn't realize the serial number was a repeater number until I got it in the mail image

Not really sure if coin collectors care about the serial numbers, but I thought it was cool... and not really that much different than how those currency guys collect by serial numbers image


Anyone else have any slabs with fancy serial numbers??? Radars, repeaters, ladders, birthdays, low numbers and whatever else there is???

    That's pretty cool. This would be a challenging way to collect if you were interested in specific numbers.

    I also recall that that 1794 dollar that is in the SP66 holder has a fancy serial number like 00001794 if I recall it correctly

    I was thinking of starting a thread one of these days, something along the lines of "The final frontier for slab collectors", but you beat me to it. image

    The first one is 1 number off from a double RADAR - coin and serial number.

    Several years ago I bought an AU55 common date Liberty $5 gold coin in a small white ANACS slab on eBay with the serial number 666666. The seller was hyping the unusual serial number but I was able to buy it without paying any premium for the serial number. It's been in my safe deposit box for so long that I don't even remember the exact date but I remember paying well below $200 so that gives you an idea how long ago that I bought it.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    While it was a nice coin and I got it for a good price, I bought it primarily for the serial number. I guess you could say the devil made me do it.image

    Wow - now that would be a cool serial number! Wonder if it went to a random customer or not??
